This is not technically an aviation museum as such, but it has more aircraft in it than some proper aviation museums do so it is worthy of its very own video!
The Science Museum is one of several impressive museums around Kensington in London that are free to enter and display a phenomenal amount of exhibits.
In amongst these is the Hall of Flight, a collection of aircraft preserved that contributed something in particular to the history and development of Aviation. Let's take a look through time at the exhibited aircraft here!

little Known fact too, That the first British built prototype Concorde 002/ G-BSST is also owned by the science museum. The Museum purchased it on the 26th July 1976 after it retired from test work. This was before the Science museum set up it's reserve collection at wroughton airfield near Swindon, which has a few airliners like a hawker sidney trident. Given the London site too is too small for an airliner, It was decided that she would go on display at the Fleet Air Arm museum at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, where she is still open to the public today. Many think she is owned by the Fleet Air Arm museum but in fact she's still owned by the Science museum.

They definitely would not be able to get a Concorde anywhere near the Science Museum unless they were to keep it in the grounds of the nearby Natural History museum!

Great video! I had no idea there were that many aircraft in there. Haven't been for YEARS!

Not too bad of a collection! I was going around with some people at the time but I thought "I've got enough time to film what I need for a quick KZfaq video" 🤣

Notice the Hurricane is a very early version with fabric covered wings. (I spotted this on the video’s thumbnail).

I definitely missed that having had only 45 minutes to film the entire video! 😄

There is a picture of a Handley Page 42 airliner being refueled in Cairo. The guy in the picture has a toothbrush mustache. It's not Charlie Chaplin so it must be Hitler! LOL.
